FORT SILL -- The body of a former Fort Sill solder killed in Iraq comes home to Oklahoma today, before the memorial service in his honor.

Sergeant First Class Greg Sutton was killed in iraq exactly one week ago Wednesday. He died in Baghdad after a roadside bomb exploded. Sutton had volunteered for his second tour of duty in Iraq, so another soldier could retire.

He is remembered by family and friends as a great husband, father... and soldier. He was also a casualty assistance officer at Fort Sill. This before he took a new assignment at Fort Riley, Kansas.

A memorial service is planned for Friday, at 11 a.m. at the Frontier Chapel.
